Beschrijving
“Wash Me” (“Soak Me”) before Eating. This tale exists chiefly in two different forms:
(1) A wolf (jackal, fox) wants to eat a piglet (crabs and fish). The sow persuades the wolf that she has to wash the piglet first, and pulls the wolf into the water.
(2) A turtle explains to a jackal that he has to be soaked in water in order to soften his shell. Thus he escapes [K553.5].
